Enjoy your fantastic journey in Moncage!

The development for Moncage began almost four years ago, and it has been such an incredible journey - particularly with the tremendous love and support from our amazing community. And today, we are extremely excited to announce that Moncage will be arriving on Steam, iOS, and Android on November 16th, 2021. You can pick up the game for just $13.49 on Steam during the launch sale, or $3.99 on mobile!



Moncage is an award-winning vignette puzzle adventure inside a mysterious cube that connects parallel worlds through mind-boggling optical illusions. Each side of the cube houses a dynamic world with hidden connections to the others; the player must carefully manipulate the cube and find the possible connections and interactions between objects across multiple sides to decrypt the puzzles.

Underneath the multidimensional puzzle-solving experience, there lies a delicate story about a young boy, his father, and a lighthouse. By interacting with objects across multiple scenes and from unique perspectives, combined with locating a hidden photo collection, you may just be able to uncover the secrets of the cube…



We have also made significant improvements and adjustments to Moncage over its early demo. In addition to the revamped visuals, we introduced an achievement system with 15 unlockable achievements, each corresponding with a Medal award; we also implemented an intuitive hint system to not only highlight key items, but to provide the player with thoughtful guidance via text and videos.

Thank you all so much for your patience! We’re now in the final stretch of Moncage and have been getting everything ready for launch. The official launch date and price will be announced very soon!

Until then, why don’t we take a look at the Medals in the game?



There are a total of 15 Medals in Moncage. Similar to the trophy system on gaming consoles, players are awarded corresponding Medals when triggering certain conditions in the game. Each of the Medals has been crafted with a uniquely stunning design.

Here is a preview of three of the Medals, let us know what you think in the comments~



Out of the 15 Medals, many of them are automatically unlocked as you reach certain points of the game, while some others may require active item collection to be triggered; a few of these Medals may even come with hidden surprises. Why wouldn’t you want to collect them all?

Moncage will be available on Steam, TapTap, and iOS App Store. Please be sure to follow us on Twitter @XD_EN_Official and join us on Discord to stay up-to-date.

Before we get started, let’s address the elephants in the room:

1. Moncage is set to release by the end of this year; official launch date will be announced soon.
2. Moncage will be available to purchase on Steam, App Store, Google Play and TapTap.

Now, the fun stuff:

Upon completion of content development, we immediately launched into post-production and have already made quite some progress, particularly in visual optimization.

As you can see in the comparison below, we’ve made significant upgrades since the demo build with added focus blur, new text glow, and enhanced volumetric lighting, etc., all for a more immersive gameplay experience.

In addition to the lighting changes from external sources, we went over each and every scene from within the cube and made visual adjustments to the environments, exposure, and color saturation, etc. In the example below, the skies and overall settings have been modified in accordance with the particular scene.

For indoor scenes, we focused on adding visual elements such as windows, picture frames, and stickers for them to look even more elaborate and reflect the overarching storyline.

This visual optimization has been an ongoing process and we are currently working to enhance the lighting effects even more - can you spot the difference(s) in the latest screenshot below?
